Istokpoga is really low right now. This has positioned the fish on the edges of the deepest stretches of reeds on the lake. Anywhere where you have a few feet of water to flip you have a good chance of running into a few. While you can catch some flipping a swimming worm, It seemed like a heavier jig created a reaction strike and worked much better than a Texas rig. The shallow stuff is very difficult to get into with the low water. Make sure you are trimmed up and come in slow as you approach reed lines. I wouldn't even mess with the canals. Those fish are long gone.

Water down to hurricane level you must be very careful. Early and evening is best. Take plenty of water to drink. The fishing is tough right now. Water will stay this level until November
